To your dismay, you find that your gas water heater has died a sudden, inconvenient death. The repairman, whom you are paying overtime, gives you the bad news; your gas water heater won' t hold a pilot light. He can' t fix it; it must be replaced. No, he can' t do it tonight; your guests are stuck with cold showers.

The above social nightmare is actually a rare occurrence. Gas water heaters are generally durable and easy to service and maintain. Depending on the brand, they can last for up to fifteen years, trouble-free. Using clean-burning natural gas as fuel, gas water heaters rarely lose their pilot light. Even when they do, re-lighting the pilot is often a simple job completed in five minutes. Just follow the instructions located in the customer' s manual. If the pilot won' t re-light, then it' s time to call a service technician; something' s amiss that you can' t fix on your own.
Before you choose a gas water heater, carefully consider your hot water consumption needs. The amount of hot water needed by a couple is far less than that required by a family of five. However, couples who plan to eventually have children should take this into consideration; what serves them well now - a twenty-gallon capacity gas water heater - will change considerably when the children arrive! Parents with several children will reduce their hot water needs when the children eventually leave home. Marketers of gas water heaters generally recommend a capacity of 50-70 gallons; it' s better to have more than you need than less than you need. Heaters with this capacity usually cost between $300 - $700, depending upon the brand and the service contract.
It' s recommended that you purchase a warranty for the life of the gas water heater. Although these appliances are exceptionally durable, there' s always the possibility that yours will go down. Without a warranty, it' s probably most financially feasible to buy a new gas water heater. If yours is covered by a service or replacement warranty, you' ll fare much better financially.
